More like Old Enough to Know Too Much.

... and video editing just started happening when Google brought up youtube...

Jerry - Thanks for sharing. Gave me a nice chuckle, too.

Working with youngsters every day (I'm a college prof.), I try to interpret such comments in the best possible light (even if I'm sometimes wrong!).

In this case, I think the person genuinely meant it as a compliment.

Too funny! You go from being so far ahead of the youngsters that you can't imagine how they would ever catch up ... to out of the blue one day your 12 year old showing you something so completely new and extraordinary that you wonder just how far behind you might actually be... yep...I understand this comment completely!

Your newfound friend "Pedro" uploaded one video, five years ago.
Looking at it, he doesn't care a bit about noise reduction . . .


Must be those strong Portugese cigarettes.

Five years ago! It sounds like Pedro is too old to be editing video as well!

I did find this corelation--the older the person the bigger the monitor.

I have two big monitors that I peer at through my progressive bifocals... not that I'm old... I'm just saying ...

Hire a teenager while they still know it all.

Good one, Rory! Inspired me to search out another oldie-but-goodie.



...Jerry

Good one Jerry. I like it.

And I though the tutorial was excellent so please take it as a complement.

Reminds me of a bluegrass group I used to listen to.

I realised I was 'old' (really only middle aged) when...

1. The optician suggested Varifocals
2. I had to start reading the manuals for hi-tech items
3. My children discover and use features on tech items that I never knew existed, despite reading the manual.

Oh, and when I injury myself, the injury just lingers and never seems to completely heal.

My new goodbye reply to people is "don't get old, don't get sick, and never go to the hospital because you come out with new stuff you didn't have before".

Pretty funny. This has turned into an "old guys" thread.

(1) My legs always feel like I just ran a "Bridge Circuit" (7mi) in Boston like I could so easily do lo those many years ago.

(2) My glasses are trifocals and I have a half-dozen pairs of reading glasses around the house.

BUT, there are compensations--

(1) I really do feel more experienced and, well, wiser. When people say Bullcrap things I can recognize it readily.

(2) I now get free coffee at some fast-food establishments. Gotta take the good with the bad, you know.

(3) I don't worry AT ALL about polar bear habitat. They'll do just fine. I know this for a fact.

G'day

Seeing as though this has turned into an old guys thread, I'll throw this one in.....

One of my former colleagues said to me once "You know you're getting old when it takes you all night to do what you used to do all night."

With the beneft off having gotten "old", I now know exactly what he meant.

Cheers

An old guyI knew when I was a young man used to tell me that he needed to get his sex drive lowered. You see (he would say) it was all in his head...

Now there's the ultimate insult to injury. When you click on the link to "Old and In the Way" and find that there's not even a sample clip to listen too you know you're way over the hill :)

I'm a huge bluegrass fan and pick a little mandolin on occasion.

I'd take that comment as a compliment for sure and I'm only just over the mid century.

Cheers,
Pete

I'm still at that cusp where my body thinks it's over 50, but my brain still thinks it's only 20. This guarantees that they're never in sync with each other.

When I was twenty, I tried to kill myself with drugs.
When I was thirty, It tried to kill myself with sex.
When I was forty, I tried to kill myself with alcohol.
When I was fifty, I tried to kill myself with pork fat. That one almost succeeded!

Funny.
